Audience comfort during concerts is an important part of the overall audience experience. An investigation was carried out at the O2 Arena during a concert to determine the response of the stands and to check that they did not create too much bounce with real audience activity. 

We wrote a document setting out how proactive and preventative measures will minimise operational noise moving through this third run of summer events at the Tower of London. Ultimately this document sets out how the organisers have minimised the risk of exceeding the advisory noise criteria for the events, and ultimately prevent causing a public or private nuisance; which is the objective of the agreement with HRP, The Licensing Act 2003 and Environmental Protection Act 1990.

The King’s Cross Central development is an ongoing 15-year construction plan coordinated by property developers King’s Cross Central General Partner Limited. A commitment was made in the Code of Construction Practice to undertake noise monitoring for the project.

Sustainable Acoustics were instructed by OXO2 to advise on matters of noise control from the venue known as OXO, which is located on the second floor of the OXO Tower, London. The OXO2 venue has residential space on the floor above, and there has been a history of the building offering poor sound insulation between floors.

Sustainable Acoustics was been instructed to investigate the acoustic sound insulation between Floors 29 and 30 of Millbank Tower, as well as the capacity of the music system on Floor 29 to be able to reproduce a sound field that will not be intrusive to the commercial operation on the 30th floor.

St George the Martyr Church in Newbury, carried out a significant refurbishments of its existing church building, including a provision for improving the acoustics within the main hall space where people were finding it difficult to hear speech. The small church was renowned for its warmth and for the acoustics that supported the sound of the choir, so the brief was to improve the space for speech without affecting its existing use.

Sustainable Acoustics, working with Design Engine Architects, are delighted to have developed the acoustic strategy on Phase 1 of the Neuro Rehab unit known as Cedar Park, in the village Enham Alamein, near Andover. The idea of this facility is to assist with the introduction of people back into community-style living.

Sustainable Acoustics was commissioned by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to provide acoustic design advice for the construction of St. Mary Magdalene Church of England School, the proposed new school at Millennium Way, on the Greenwich Peninsula within site of the O2 arena. This site is affected by noise from London City Airport and the busy Millennium Way.

Sustainable Acoustics acted as the acoustic specialists for the refurbishment of the well-known Lighthouse, Poole’s centre for the arts.  We worked alongside award-winning architect Design Engine, to assist in the £5.3 million refurbishment of the iconic building, Britain’s largest regional arts centre.

Bringing F1 to London - enabling car demos and late night partying in the heart of the city for Eddie Jordan and his band.

Peter was instructed on behalf of a Town Council in a difficult case concerning an application under section 82 Environmental Protection Act 1990. As is often the case with Section 82 cases, the applicant was a litigant in person. Peter produced his report swiftly and it dealt with all of the significant points regarding whether a statutory nuisance existed. His previous experience as a local authority officer and his general wealth of experience was a decisive factor in the subsequent litigation.
